Liverpool vs Manchester United: 5 players who will influence the outcome

#3 Romelu Lukaku

Lukaku is in fine form

The Belgian international has been excellent since arriving in the summer from Everton for £75m.

Scoring 16 goals in his last 13 games for club and country, Lukaku is in the form of his life. Manchester United fans will be hoping he can replicate that at Anfield.

There have been many critics suggesting Lukaku cannot deliver against the ‘bigger’ teams, but here is his chance to prove his doubters wrong and directly influence the game against Liverpool.

Lukaku’s smart runs and sheer pace will stretch Liverpool’s defence, and we have already seen how feeble and disorganised it is. Ashley Young, who is likely to be starting at left back, will have his crossing boots on to try and find Lukaku, who has been superb in the box.
